Comment Why even bring it up? (Score 3, Insightful) 149

Almost all US non-union jobs are "at will" which means the employer can terminate without cause and an employee can quit without notice. Smart companies never give a reason for termination. They just terminate. Giving ANY reason exposes the company to possible litigation or a variety of grounds.

"Your employment has been terminated effective immediately."

There is no reason to say anything else. Make your office attendance a "suggestion", but never use it as grounds for termination.

Comment HR Nightmare? (Score 5, Interesting) 149

Giving line managers the ability to terminate immediately is cause for concern because anyone not terminated becomes proof of discrimination if anyone in a protected class is terminated.

Bob is allowed to work from home 4 days a week, but Nateesha is fired because she works from home three days a week. BOOM. Lawsuit.
